I was looking forward to this meal all weekend. Then, it got side-tracked when I realized I was out of ancho chili powder. Argh! But, where there's a will, there's a way. So, instead of Saturday night dinner with Sunday leftovers, I pushed it back to Sunday night. Here was the menu:
Grilled Roadside Chicken
Rice with Pigeon Peas
Rustic Guacamole
I have the first two recipes posted on the
Recipe Index along with any modifications or special cooking instructions. The guacamole is a little of this, a little of that. My wonderful daughter made it, and even with not-quite-ripe avocados, she made it taste amazing! The ingredients are simple: mashed avocados, salt, pepper, garlic powder, chopped cilantro (from the garden!), and lime juice, all to taste.
My husband grilled the chicken to perfection over charcoal, so it was truly a family effort. And, isn't that really what it's all about: family joining together for nourishment, for fun, for life! What a perfect ending to a wonderful weekend.
